Gulf states warned that they could retaliate against Iran after strikes that hit key sites and killed at least five civilians. The attacks on Iran showed no signs of relenting as the U.S. and Israel took aim at warships and ballistic missile sites. The weekend attacks were the second combined strikes in eight months from the U.S. and Israel against Iran. Bahrain and Kuwait said Iranian strikes in both countries hit civilian targets outside the U.S. bases where Iran had pledged to retaliate. The Israeli military said Hezbollah had “joined the campaign” alongside Iran.
